THE CAR STOVE MUST co

The New England Railroad club, which meets in Boston, is discussing the car heat ing question. As the members of the club are practical railroad men what they have to say about the matter is we'll worth attention.
 It is interesting to see that all railroad men do not hold the opinion expressed by Chauncey M. Depew that there is no practi- cable way of heating cars by steam from the engine. MT. Adams, master car builder of the Boston & Albany railroad, said he was still believer that steam heat is the coming heat. It is true there are some difficulties, but he thought they were not insurmountable He believed the officers of his road were satisfied they have got to heat their cars with steam from the locomotive for both safety and econ omy. The success of the Martin heater has been such that they had general fault to find, and he thought before the winter had gone another train would be equipped. The train now equipped has not lost trip. Steam heating is being put in almost all buildings, and the stations at all points can easily be equipped with steam apparatus and pipe run from it to heat cars before being attached to the engine. MT. Adams told about the success of heating cars in the coldest weather of the past month.
 MT. Lander, of the Old Colony railroad, was of the opinion that cars have, for years to come, got to be heated individually, and the question is how to do it safely. He was free to admit that trains can be heated by a continuous system from the engine, but there are many difficulties in the way of its general
 III thought that the hot water heating system is the only one yet proved to be a success, and one way of making it safe was to enclose the heater in a steel box, which will not let the fire out of the car in case of derailment. The cost, he believed, would not stand in the way of it's adoption by any railroad.
 MT. Griggs, of the Providence and Wor- cester railroad, said he could see no objec- tions to heating his cars by steam from the engine, though if his road connected with other roads he should want to know if the other road was to put it on before he did.
 This is in the right direction. There is no good reason to believe that the heating problem is so difficult of solution as MT. Depew says. Undoubtedly the change would make great deal of trouble and expense As cars are switched from one train to another one road to another, there must be a uni form system wherever such connections are made. The passenger engines and cars of the whole line and it's branches must be ar ranged on one plan. The companies which use each others cars must adopt the arrange ment in common. But the same difficulty stood in the way of the adoption of the air brake.

 few years ago, says the M ethodist Times of London, ia liturgical service was introduced into new suburban Methodist church in the great town of Bradford. There was great outcry against it from outsiders, but it has been conspicuous success. Sev- eral families that had gone to the Estab- 1ished church have returned. The congrega- tion is now one of the largest, most spiritual tempt to establish liturgical service in Leeds was defeated by narrow majority of the local authorities. Methodism has suf- fered irreparable injury in Leeds from the short-sighted policy which has insisted upon a cast-iron uniformity of worship.

shooting a Pilot to save his Boat.


 One of the brayest as well as the | gated the Ohio Is Capt. David NJ. Dryden, no two wives in Ballard county, Kentucky. l Capt. Dryden is 75 years of age, and spent l sixty years of his life on the river. In | 1886 he was pilot on the Swiftsure, a mail line packet plying between Louis vile and Cincinnati. The Paul Jones also ran in the same trade, and great rivalry existed between the two boats. One cold day in January, 1856, both boats puffed out of the Louisville harbor, and the l captain of each resolved that his craft should be the first to land at Cincinnati. Pine knots, coal oil, bacon, and everything l that would make a blaze were thrown orders to turn her wide open. For some miles they were exactly side by side, and | although both engines were doing their | most neither had the advantage. The cap 1 tains aRd crews were greatly excited, and l the boats quivered under the immensr steam pressure. Finally the Swiftsure began | slowly to forge ahead of it's rival. Sylves- ter Edwards, pilot of the Jones, saw the race was lost, and instantly resolved that ] if he could not distance the Swiftsure he l would sink her He accordingly turned his bow toward the side of the other boat | Capt. Dryden whistled and shouted to him to keep of, but he did not heed the | signals and in few moments the sharp, | iron recovered bows of the Jones were nearly against the Swiftslre. Capt. Dryden real | ized at once that unless something was done | his boat would be sunk and his passengers drowned. Hastily snatching rife from the l floor he fired through the window, and, the | ball striking Edwards in the centre of the | forehead, killed him instantly. The Jones | then veered off and the collision was averted. Capt. Dryden was tried in Burlington, Boone county and acquitted.

 The extent to which American capital is seeking investment in mining enterprises and grazing lands in the northe Tn part of Mexico is beginning to attract very general atten- tion.

MY DEAR.
"Let me carry your pail, my dear,
Brimming over with water?"
"No, III take hold, and you take hold"
Answered the farmers daughter.
And she would have her own sweet way,
AS her merry eyes grew brighter;
So she took hold. and he took hold,
And it made the burden lighter.
And every day the oaken pail,
Over the well curb slipping,
Was upward drawn by hands of Drawn,
Cool, and so softly dripping.
And every day the burden seemed
Lighter by being divided;
For he took hold and she took hold,
BY the self, same spirit guided.
Till by and by they learned to love,
And each TO trust the other,
Till she for him, one twilight dim,
Left father and left mother.
The wedding bells were rung at morn,
The bridal blessings given,
And now the pair. without care,
Entered an earthly heaven.
When storm and sunshine mingled, they
Would seldom trouble borrow,
And when it came they met the same
With bright hope OF 10 morrow.
And now they're at the eve OF life,
While the western skies grow brighter,
For he took hold. and she took hold,
And it made the burden lighter.
